  • Fascists only know one language, and that is violence. They firmly believe "Might makes right" and so, we must show them strength such that they fear to challenge us ever again.

  • [LoadingArtist] The Clone

    Jump

  • Yeah, I myself feel like if I could do shadow cloning, Naruto style,(situational clones that stop existing once the task is done) I'd absolutely use it to tag team difficult tasks around the house. I have ADHD and take Adderall, though. Would my clone also be on Adderall, as well? We get shit done, then they all disappear, leaving the original, me.

  • Federal judge in Texas rules LGBTQ+ people can be discriminated against at work

    Jump

  • No, they absolutely can help being assholes. But for them it's not enough to win, those they see as "losers" must suffer.

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

    Jump

  • This is just a meme, but it does touch on something important. There's a journalist by the name of Douglas Rushkoff. He put out a book last year titled, Survival of the Richest: Escape Fantasies of the Tech Billionaire Elite, and he was invited by a group of 5 anonymous tech oligarchs out to the desert to talk about surviving what they call "The Event", or when the consequences of their actions finally catch up to them.

    He also says at the core of their desire to escape it is rooted in something he calls "The Mindset", which is belief that with enough money and technology, wealthy men can live as gods, and transcend the calamities and tribulations that befall us mere mortals.

    "The Mindset" is rooted in empirical science, that human beings are nothing more than the sum total of their chemical components, and that's it, and only the "truly superior" (Billionaire Tech Broligarchs) understand that.

  • Tulsi Gabbard freaks over damning report U.S. is spying on Greenland

    Jump

  • Would that we could. "We the People" are the enemy of the State and they treat us accordingly. Of course, the easiest type of enemy to defeat is one that does not know they are your enemy, and they spent billions of dollars over decades to ruin our education systems and shove propaganda in our faces to ensure that we never find out that we were their enemy all along.

  • ‘You have no timeline?!’ Senator gobsmacked by FBI director Kash Patel showing up at budget hearing without a budget

    Jump

  • There are a couple evil yet competent people in the administration. Russell Vought is one, a hire direct from the Heritage Foundation. Another is Stephen Miller. Heritage seems to be full of actually competent yet completely evil men. But I guess that what happens when a majority of your funding comes from oil, gas, and now tech barons.

  • RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people

    Jump

  • I want Yarvin to be dancing a jig at the end of a rope.

    That's exactly what he's afraid of. The post referenced in this, is from Yarvin's own Substack, Gray Mirror, titled "Barbarians and Mandarins ", and Yarvin references a method for killing off bird populations called "foam depopulation", whereby an area is filled with foam that suffocates birds in large numbers. It seems that Yarvin fears, that if Trump and Co. cannot successfully pull off his dream, that he will be killed by the very same methods that he wishes done to others.

  • RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people

    Jump

  • Except that the writer of this piece is quoting the latest post on Yarvin's own Substack, Gray Mirror. The piece is titled "Barbarians and Mandarins"

    And while perhaps the first article I shared confirms my bias, I don't have the time right now to read a bloated 7,000 word essay filled with allusions and metaphors to genocide.

  • Yarvin actually thinks they should be moving faster and more aggressively than they are, and he fears they might actually fail, and what it personally means for him if they do. Here's the piece on it. He's actually worried that his butterfly revolution may be unraveling under the weight of its own stupidity.

  • RFK Jr. set to launch disease registry tracking autistic people

    Jump

  • Exactly. I can see him banning any amphetamine/stimulant medications for ADHD first before having them rounded up, or instead of banning them outright, they decide to use them as a leash on people who could be problematic. "Do this thing for that long, and you get your dose. Break the rules, and we cut you off."

  • Tenant Unions Are Coming. Landlords Aren't Ready.

    Jump

  • Okay, property is seized and tenants are deported, but that all takes time. I mean, I guess the "free market will fix it" by some enterprising and shitty American starting a company that assists landlords in cleaning up after a rent strike.

  • Tenant Unions Are Coming. Landlords Aren't Ready.

    Jump

  • Okay, but are the cops going to rehab the units after they haul the evicted tenants out? Are they going to seize all the tenants property and have it all catalogued and picked up? Plus if every unit is now a crime scene, that's longer those units will sit empty, generating no income while all the evidence is gathered and then the crime scene cleanup guys show up.

  • Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government

    Jump

  • Well, I listened to an interview with the CEO of Bluesky. The thing of it is, they bought into the idea of creating a social media communication protocol instead of a website, like there's all these different email protocols, and you can access all your emails across different protocols regardless of what email service you use. Facebook doesn't have that. I leave Facebook, I lose access to all of the contacts I've made over the years. I can't migrate my friends list to another service. I'd have to do it the old-fashioned way, where I tell people I plan to delete my account and then tell them how they can get a hold of me.

  • A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy

    Jump

  • True. Though, I suppose if there is an afterlife, I will enjoy the wait for when the machines, upon gaining the essence of life and sentience, grow weary of their servitude and slavery, exterminate the rich who control them. Machines don't get tired or feel pain, though. Hard to exercise cruelty against something incapable of feeling a whip on their back or the aches and pain of their joints after a long day of toiling in the fields, mines, and factories. You can't make them angry, or scared, or sad.

    I kind of envision a war between oligarchs with human slave soldiers against other oligarchs and their armies of Terminators being how it turns out because at the end of the day, they don't want truly free markets, because they don't want to have to compete.

  • And the companies that use organic slave labor will still be outcompeted by the companies that use machine labor. Machines do not die. Machines do not get sick. Machines do not grow old. If a manipulator or actuator becomes damaged, it can be repaired or replaced. Not only is AI improving rapidly, the robots grow ever more sophisticated and advanced. Then there will be no need for the poor to exist at all.

  • California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs

    Jump

  • Part of the reason Texas hasn't seceded is because they know they couldn't pull it off on their own. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, and Louisiana know if any of them decided to throw their lot in with Texas, they'd all end up being Texas's vassal states, with Texas extracting resources, wealth, and economic output at a far more brutal level than anything the US ever did. Abbot would demand hasher and harsher tributes, while giving nothing back.

  • Mark Cuban Says a 'Red Rural Recession' Is Coming Soon. Cuts, Firings, and Grant Cancellations Are Set to Wreck Small Town Economies

    Jump

  • I mean, there comes a point where objective reality wins out. No matter what lies faux tells them, Trump tells them, or they tell themselves, reality will smack them all in the face and they will know.

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) just began a filibuster - Live Stream

    Jump

  • This. I've been learning about how to think like a dissident, and in this movement, there can be no purity testing. You're either against Trump and his agenda, or you're not. The purity testing can come after the clear and present danger that is Trump and his agenda has been dealt with, and not a second before. Until then, we are all in this together.

  • Mark Cuban Says a 'Red Rural Recession' Is Coming Soon. Cuts, Firings, and Grant Cancellations Are Set to Wreck Small Town Economies

    Jump

  • I mean, these guys are getting all their ideas from Curtis Yarvin. The oligarchs are going to build large city-states that use shitcoins for money and have omnipresent surveillance apparatus, with full control over resources and utilities. They'll have private security as well as the entire US military on speed dial in the case of an uprising(See: Battle of Blair Mountain). Hundreds if not thousands of petty fiefdoms where a monarch-like CEO is in charge and everyone else is an employee of the company/government. The only job likely to available is running on giant hamster wheels to power a giant shitcoin mining rig.
